Sick Ground Zero workers shouldn’t be treated better than responders who become ill as a result of other disasters, Mayor Bloomberg said yesterday.
The disparity in benefits is his latest line of attack against 9/11 bills approved by Gov. Pataki.
“I’ve always found it not fair if you’re a police officer or firefighter and you were to die in the line of duty on a day other than on 9/11, the considerations and the aid and the assistance we give to your family is very different than if you died on that one day,” Bloomberg said.
“And yet, the sacrifice seems to me is identical.”
